While we have the chance, should we not tell them over and over? It is unusual, actually. I was speaking to Sudoh-san about this just yesterday... about how whoever those chinchillas really may be, they did not regard our feelings at all.

I do not think he would wish to hurt you, yet... that is what happens when you care for someone unconditionally and they have such a burden to carry.

[ Everybody hurts.mp3 ]

[artisticliberty]

... yes, of course. You're right. I cannot waste any time not telling them how I feel for them. I want them to know that they are loved, before...!

[he cuts himself off, a little choked up]

My apologies.

[assent]

[ It hurts seeing how much pain he's in with this, so she lets go of his hand for a moment. ]

You need not apologise, Yusuke. Here. [ Her arms open slightly then. ] If it is not too bold... would you like a hug?

[ This is what friends do when the other is sad, right? ]

[artisticliberty]

[he looks a little stunned by her offer, his throat drying up. but he's had more hugs from people in these last few days than in his entire life]

If you do not mind, truly...

[tentatively, he reaches for her]

[assent]

[ Same, tbh. It's easy to get caught up in the availability of it, but also she just wants to be able to support him in this as well. She said she'd cheer Tatsuya on, so now it can just be the both of them.

She curls her arms around him in a hug though, holding tight so he knows he isn't alone in this. ]

I wish things could be easier.

[artisticliberty]

[he's bony but totally willing to engage in this, his arms wrapping around her shoulders warmly, resting his chin on her head. he takes in a shaky breath and lets it out]

... it is good to know that I am not alone in this. Thank you, Sonia.

[assent]

[ He might be, but it isn't necessarily bad. She might need this just as much anyway, even if she's a lot less willing to open up about anything. ]

Of course you are not. You are welcome, if I can offer at least this much... I want to give it.

[artisticliberty]

You are truly a generous soul. If there is ever anything I can do for you... please, do not hesitate to ask.

[assent]

Thank you, Yusuke.

[ And she sure is willing to listen to him and support him, willing to take some of the burden, some of that pain, by hugging him... but sharing her own pain? Nah. How about she just doesn't acknowledge it at all. That sounds Great. ]

I will bear that in mind if anything arises.

[artisticliberty]

Has it not already? You said you are feeling powerless.

[assent]

[ She freezes up at that, forcing a breath out because she'd hoped he'd been too caught up in his own circumstances to remember. ]

You were the one who told me about the killing game that was here before, yes? How much did you know about it?

[artisticliberty]

I have heard a great deal from Akira, Saihara, and Kurosaki on the matter.

[assent]

Even who died?

[artisticliberty]

I understand that a good many people died, yes.

[assent]

[ Hopefully this isn't oversharing and he already knew, but... ]

Rin told me that Akira, Ichigo and himself died there. I think... No, I know he's probably been blaming himself all this time for not being able to save them and I hope we [ "we" ] managed to console him. However, it is... not exactly something I could relate to. I came here to try and process it, I suppose.

Especially before I meet Akira later.

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke's eyes lower]

... yes. On top of everything else, they were all killed... I had not thought about it, but they must be reliving those moments here.

[assent]

[ Thankfully she's still tucked under him so he doesn't see the way her eyes squeeze shut. ]

Rin told myself and Allen this morning... about what happened to him, Akira and Ichigo. I am... trying to prepare myself to face him but it is not easy. I do... not really know what to do.

[artisticliberty]

Akira would not wish to be pitied, I think. But he would appreciate empathy and kindness, two things you seem to excel at, in my opinion.

He might also appreciate a hug.

[assent]

I do not entirely know all the circumstances of it, Rin did not go into detail. He was more... upset about not being able to save them.

[ One of her hands has to pull away from behind him, moving to press against where her chest hurts from remembering how he cried earlier, about how Allen responded to it. ]

So I think... if you say that is the case, maybe it will be all right.

[ She is clearly still Not Okay though. ]

I can try that.

[artisticliberty]

[poor rin... poor all of them, really]

Thank you, Sonia.

[assent]

[ A sucky situation tbh. ]

Of course, there is no need to thank me.

[ Her voice sounds as smooth as it normally does, but her eyes are watering again now anyway, tears not spilling over but there's build up. ] I care about you all, after all.

[artisticliberty]

[he lifts his chin and places a hand on her head instead]

Still, it must be said. To care for others as deeply as you do... is an admirable thing. We are lucky to have you.

[assent]

[ It's... warm. Comforting, too, in a way she didn't expect. She's tired of crying so she manages to push those tears threatening to spill over back. ]

I am not so certain of that. [ But at least she lets out a tiny laugh at it, kind of breathy in that she's still holding back cracking and breaking down. ]

[artisticliberty]

Do not doubt your importance here. You have made an impact on many peoples' lives, simply by being yourself. Of course we are lucky to have you--no one could take your friendship for granted.

[assent]

Yusuke... [ She trails off, having to bite her lip. She just stopped!! Almost crying!! It's taking a few deep breaths to regulate it now, her hands are shaking a bit too. ]

...Sometimes that may not be enough in the time we have.
